239 Impossible

“Researcher Liu, you sure know how to joke.

“Wu Jianguo is this guy’s lieutenant?

“I don’t believe it!”

Zhang Guozhu shook his head.

After all, Wu Jianguo was as famous as Captain Lin.

Lin Liye was practically a living legend.

Not only was he powerful, but he had also made many contributions.

Although he wasn’t the actual figure of authority in the government, no one treated him like any underling of sorts.

“We don’t believe it either…

“Wu Jianguo is a legendary figure.”

The other team members also muttered.

.

How could he be weak if he could be as famous as Lin Liye?

Liu Shiyao looked at Wang Ran. Wang Ran smiled wordlessly. He was too lazy to explain himself.

What was the use of all that reputation? Could it be exchanged for food? Could it be exchanged for gold?

“Hey, we seem to be flying the wrong way…

“Aren’t we going to N-City?” Zhang Guozhu asked.

“We’re going to the private runway at the outskirts to refuel. There are fewer zombies there.

“You guys can also look around for a working plane there.”

Wang Ran explained.

“Alright…”

“Researcher Liu, are you really not going to consider going back with us?” Zhang Guozhu asked.

.

“No, I’m making good progress here.

“There’s a USB flash drive and a box of reagents here.

“The initial stage of the vaccine has been successful. After the clinical trials, you can start mass production.”

Liu Shiyao handed the suitcase to Zhang Guozhu.

“Alright…”

Zhang Guozhu took the box and nodded.

He didn’t know what made such a dedicated researcher like Liu choose to stay in N-City. If she returned with them, they would make leaps and bounds in progress.

“Captain, we’re saved. Should we call Captain Lin to report?”

The pilot, Ah Long, reminded him.

“Ah, right!

“It’ll be awkward if Captain Lin brings his men to an empty airport.”

Zhang Guozhu took out the satellite phone and explained himself briefly.

“Captain Lin is already on his way.

“He told us to wait for him at the airport down east, and he’ll take us back,” Zhang Guozhu said after hanging up the phone.

“D*mn, Captain Lin is coming to pick me up personally?

“I’m so excited!”

The team members’ eyes lit up.

Wang Ran and the others remained very calm.

Lin Liye was only a rank-six Awakened.

His strength would be similar to Tang Tang’s…

Soon, the Black Hawk landed at the airport.

This was the easternmost part of H-City, close to the coastline.

There weren’t many zombies in the area.

The helicopter’s loud noise only attracted three zombies. One of them was a Mutated Zombie. As soon as it saw the helicopter, it immediately ran away.

“Lu, go with Jiaxin to find some fuel.

“Shiyao, do you want any makeup?

“There should be a lot of them in the duty-free shops.”

“Cosmetic products?”

Liu Shiyao was stunned.

She was usually engrossed in her research and did not dabble with makeup.

When she recalled the supermodel-esque girls on the island, Liu Shiyao considered it for a moment.

She had to bring her standards up!

“Then let’s go take a look…”

Liu Shiyao nodded.

“Hey, you…

“How can you put Researcher Liu at such risk?”

Zhang Guozhu questioned.

“Captain Zhang, it’s fine!

“With Wang Ran’s strength, he can handle any situation,” Liu Shiyao explained with a smile.

“This…

“No, no, Researcher Liu, you’re a precious asset of the country.

“I have to follow.

“Ah Long, Ah Qiang, you take care of the injured. The rest of you, follow me to protect Researcher Liu,” Zhang Guozhu ordered them.

Wang Ran smiled and did not say anything.

If someone took the initiative to be a porter, he would naturally not turn him down.

The group of people followed Wang Ran and Liu Shiyao to the duty-free shop at the airport.

There were a few zombies wandering inside.

Wang Ran didn’t need to do anything. Zhang Guozhu and the others killed the zombies.

As they fought, Wang Ran roughly gauged the strength of these team members.

Zhang Guozhu was probably a rank-four Awakened, while the rest of the team members were mostly rank-twos.

In addition, they were all equipped with firearms, so they were playing from an elevated ground.

With these bodyguards around her, Liu Shiyao began to shop at the cosmetics counter.

“How can this be a moisturizing component? It’s fake!

“This won’t do either. They claim to be free of chemical components, but there are clearly several kinds…

“This is even more outrageous. The raw materials barely adds up to two digits, but they’re actually selling it for four digits a bottle…”

Liu Shiyao complained as she strolled.

After strolling about, not many things satisfied her.

“Just take whatever you want.”

Wang Ran advised her from the side.

“Why? Do you think I’m hard to please?”

Liu Shiyao pushed up her glasses, her cheeks puffing up.

“I’m saying that you’re a natural beauty, and you have a more mature charm compared to the other girls on the island.

“You don’t need much makeup.”

Wang Ran quickly came up with a bunch of excuses.

“Then… That’s not…”

Liu Shiyao blushed and lowered her head. Her heart was filled with joy.

Mature, she had picked up on the keyword.

It seemed like she had to dress more maturely in the future…

Just as Liu Shiyao was happily choosing her cosmetics, the sound of dense footsteps came from the corridor.

Zhang Guozhu and the others who were on guard suddenly became nervous.

Soon, a group of Mutated Zombies appeared, not far away.

The leader seemed to possess golden eyes.

The Mutated Zombie beside him seemed to be the one who had fled when the plane landed.

It turned out that he had gone to call for help.

“Prepare for battle!”

Under Zhang Guozhu’s command, all the members raised their guns.

The zombies pounced on them crazily.

The departure hall was instantly filled with gunshots and fire.

Rifles were quite lethal to zombies below the level of red eyes, and the zombies that rushed over fell in an instant.

However, the golden-eyed zombie was no fool.

He directly grabbed a zombie’s body and put it in front of him.

The other zombies did the same and rushed forward with the literal meat shields.

Soon, dozens of zombies rushed to Zhang Guozhu’s team.

It was no longer suitable for gunfire.

Zhang Guozhu and the others took out their daggers and fought with the zombies.

The two sides were about the same in strength, and they were in a stalemate.

Wang Ran and Liu Shiyao… were still strolling around the cosmetics store.

The battle that was happening just a few meters away did not seem to be their concern.

At that moment, one of the team members tripped and lost his balance. He was about to be scratched by the zombie’s claws.

A bottle of SKII smashed into the zombie’s head.
